Hello,
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I followed the guidelines found on Microsoft learn to deploy an existing flask app to an azure app service from the command line using a .zip file. The deployment is successfully every time, but when I try to access my webapp, all I see if the below image. I have found a few forums online discussing this but have not been able to resolve the issue. Any help on this would be appreciated

The default app appears because you either haven't deployed your app code to App Service, or App Service failed to find your app code and ran the default app instead.
- Restart the App Service, wait 15-20 seconds, and check the app again.
- Use SSH to connect directly to the App Service container and verify that your files exist under site/wwwroot. If your files don't exist, use the following steps:
- Create an app setting named
SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENTwith the value of 1, redeploy your code, wait a few minutes, then try to access the app again. For more information on creating app settings, see Configure an App Service app in the Azure portal. - Review your deployment process, check the deployment logs, correct any errors, and redeploy the app.
- Create an app setting named
- If your files exist, then App Service wasn't able to identify your specific startup file. Check that your app is structured as App Service expects for Django or Flask, or use a custom startup command.
Hope this helps. Let us know.
